Build a Streak with your favorite players and compete to win $5.6 million

Beat the Streak Report: Weekend, July 8-10

Streakers, there is an oasis on the horizon.

After three-plus months of nonstop picking, next week brings the three-day respite of the All-Star break. That’s right: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday have no scheduled regular season Major League Baseball games.

Once you lock in your Sunday pick, feel free to power down your computer — or iPhone — for the next 72 hours. It may be scary, but you could even think about venturing outdoors. Come Thursday morning, your Streak will still be sitting right where you left it. Which is probably at zero games. Ohburrrrrn.

Anyway, there’s still plenty of work to be done before the break actually hits. Do it big this weekend, and those three long days next week will seem a whole lot less empty. Catch y’all on Thursday.

Current leader jero07 heads into the weekend sitting purdy at 35 games, five short of season leader Jonathan Roy. Roy will presumable spend the All-Star break casting spells and mumbling hexes. If he’s successful, Gold Glove second placeman hankwoods — currently at 32 games — would be next in line.

Sad day to be a Rangers fan. I can’t even imagine how bad Josh must feel for tossing the ball up to that fan. Thoughts and prayers go out to the family and hopefully the little boy isn’t completely traumatized for the rest of his life.

Horrible incident. Wonder how long before fields will have netting for entire park or something similar to prevent these from reoccurring? Raising the rails not an option since it means removing rows of seating ’cause spectator viewing blocked otherwise; plexiglass shields instead maybe, who knows?

My condolences go out to the Stone family and friends. If memory serves me right someone fell in that ballpark last season, something should have been done to prevent this tragedy and something must be done to prevent another tragedy like this at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. I also remember hearing about tragedies happening at the old Shea Stadium, Turner Field and Coors Field. Shea Stadium is gone but RBIA, TF, CF and perhaps other ballparks need more protection like nets or bigger railings to prevent falls like this.

Highest “No Selection” 😛 pg# with streak of back to zero. MISSED THEM
Yesterday’s Top2500 Reset rate was 36.86% with KONERKO & MIGGY reseting the most.
There was also 17.72% PPD due to players not playing,7.7% —> 191 picks of these were intentional DL or inj picks.
These streakers do not reset, but did not increase either.

Unbelievable Hunter Pence is the only starting hitter on the Astros to not get a hit. After getting hits on 40 of 42 non pauses days this is now 2 straight O fers against the likes of Pavano and Vazquez. Thanks for nothing Konerko and Pence.

Highest “No Selection” 😛 pg# 3 with streak of 19 back to zero. MISSED THEM
Yesterday’s Top2500 Reset rate was 13.68% with PENCE reseting the most.
There was also 16.08% PPD due to players not playing,8.42% —> 209 picks of these were intentional DL or inj picks.
These streakers do not reset, but did not increase either.

Highest “No Selection” 😛 pg# 4 with streak of 19 back to zero.

There was also 10.64% PPD due to players not playing,7.57% —> 188 picks of these were intentional DL or inj picks.

Rickie Weeks 2nd most picked. Wonder if that had something to do with the pick of the day, which he was one. However, that pick of the day was based off his history vs. Volquez who was sent to AAA. Dontrelle will pitch today instead and was announced a couple days ago. BTS punishment a possibility.

As it is looking. today is a gimme for the most part already. Unless we get a sacrificial biggie (Asdrubal, Hanley and/or Miggy), may have single digit reset rate today. Either way, we can all take a breather for a couple days and see how well we do 2nd half for those that will play it.
